Don't we all wish we were Jack Kerouac at one time or another?

So my wife Kerri and I got an Airstream (Streamy) and a pickup (The Beast) to pull her.

Now we're on the road. This morning we're in Albuquerque, Tuesday we were in Amarillo, and in a few hours we'll be in Santa Fe.

We slept with our windows open last night, and the breeze was excellent.

Streamy is a 2010 Airstream International 27' FB (front bedroom), with Ocean Breeze interior. We love her. She looks great inside and out, is well-built, and is easy to pull. Initially we had thought we would get a Class A motor home, but we are so pleased that we didn't. I'm a strong believer in "less is more", and Streamy weighs less, has signficantly less moving parts, and costs way less, when compared to most Class A motor coaches.

The Beast is a 2010 Toyota Tundra with the big V8, and SR5 interior package. It also has the TRD (off road) package, which has stiffer suspension, and is better for towing. The Beast pulls Streamy exceptionally well; driving up the Rocky Mountains has been a good test, and it has passed with flying colors.
